One girl's journey off the map and into the world

Work and Holiday Visa – Australia

Most of the information out there on the internet seems to be geared toward Europeans, Canadians and the few other nationalities that come on the Working Holiday 417 visa, but Americans have a different visa. For citizens of the United States, we can only get the Work and Holiday subclass 462 visa.

This is the same visa people from Bangladesh, Chile, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Thailand and Turkey can come in and work on. Why? I don’t know, my guess is probably something to do with the reciprocal visa situation for Australians coming to the US. (Read about my experiences in Australia on the Work & Holiday visa.)

There are a lot of reasons to work abroad in Australia, but once you’ve made up your mind, it might still seem overwhelming. Here’s a breakdown on everything you need to know about getting the Work and Holiday visa and setting off on your adventure in Australia.

About the Visa

Regardless, if you’re an American thinking of coming to Australia to work for a year, you’re in luck. Why? Because it used to be we could only come and work for four months! Still, there are restrictions on those 12 months (which begins from the day you enter the country, which can be anytime within a year from when your visa is granted).

First and foremost, you have to be between the ages of 18 and 30 (and have graduated from high school) to get the visa.

Second, you can only work at each employer for six months.

However, you are allowed to undertake any type of work (though you should check if your field requires any special licensing or registration). I worked in telefundraising (basically a telemarketer asking for donations for major NGOs) and in a legit position in my field (marketing) as well as with a start-up company (also in marketing), so really anything is possible.

Also in those 12 months you are entitled to come and go from Australia as much as you’d like. That means visiting home or taking trips to New Zealand, the South Pacific, or even Southeast Asia, are all in the realm of possibility.

There is no minimum or maximum amount of time you must work (aside from the previously mentioned six month rule).

You can work anywhere you want, take just about any kind of job, and you can even study for up to four months on the visa. Jobs can be easy or hard to find, depending on your expectations and/or field of focus. There are plenty of jobs aimed at backpackers, as there are thousands of them working all over Australia at any given time. Read more about finding a job in Australia.

Applying for the Work & Holiday 462 Visa

Applying for the visa is an incredibly easy process. You can apply online (though they do also accept paper applications) and once you’ve applied it can take as little as one day to a week (took mine a little less than a week and they were “backed up”). Their “standard” claimed on the government website is six days. They also claim you could be required to do an interview, but I can’t imagine this would ever happen unless you have something very, very strange or suspicious on your application or record.

The following is the list the government’s immigration website lists as necessary for your application, and those in bold are the ones that I (to the best of my knowledge, unless I have completely lost my memory) found that I actually had to include:

Visa Fee ($230AUD $420AUD as of 2015)

Certified copies of all biodata pages of your passport(basically the first page or two, I submitted everything online and I didn’t have anything certified)

Certified copies of birth certificates or the family book, showing names of both parents (not required if in passport)

If you have changed your name (eg by marriage or deed poll), a certified copy of evidence of the name change

Two recent passport sized photographs (45mmx35mm) of you. (I don’t recall attaching this at all, but I could be wrong…)

If you have served in the armed forces of any country, certified copies of military service record or discharge papers.

Evidence of sufficient funds. Certified copy of a bank statement showing you have access to appropriate funds of at least AU$5,000. (It seems to be rare to never that anyone actually has to show this proof of funds.)

Evidence of relevant education qualifications. (I tried to attach my college diploma at the end but kept getting an error. I guess they didn’t care anyway…)

Evidence of health insurance, if required.

So basically, not much is required! I would urge you to at least have access to all these things in case they do request it, but I wouldn’t stress too much about it. Otherwise they ask you some health and “character” questions, nothing too major.

Do You Need AUD$5,000 Proof of Funds?

A lot of people’s concern is the bank statement showing access to $5,000. There are rumors floating around the internet of this or that person being asked for it (in the application process or at the airport) so I was all freaked out because I had more like $3,000.

But nobody ever asked me, and my plan if they did was one to do one or all of the following:

Say I don’t have a copy of a statement on me but can I use their computer to print one (if this is at the airport, hey probably wouldn’t bother) and/or claim I have my money spread among different accounts and don’t have all the statements on me (which would have been true)

Resort to having the parents wire money into the account and/or showing their account statement and that they would bail me out if necessary.

No worries, you’ll be approved and on your way to Oz in no time!

Before/When You Arrive

There’s no harm in starting your job hunting and housing search from home, but most people (myself included) will tell you it’s better and easier to just wait until you’ve arrived in Australia. Book a few nights or a week in a hostel and give yourself some time to relax and enjoy your new surroundings a bit.

One other thing to be aware of when you first arrive, as soon as possible apply for your TFN (Tax File Number). You need this to start getting paid, and while it will likely only take a few days or a week to get to you, it’s better to apply as soon as possible. You can apply online, by phone, or in person. You just need your passport info and an Australian address they can send the number to (so somewhere you intend to be for the next few weeks).

You should also try to open a bank account as soon as possible, as you will need these details when you get a job, and it’s probably good to put some money in it and start spending from an Australian card. (The interest rates on the savings accounts are pretty good too!)

Extending Your Stay

So you might very well find that you love Australia (or maybe an Australian) and want to stay. Unfortunately, as mentioned before, Americans have slightly less options than others.

The one big downfall of the 462 visa versus the 417 is that we aren’t allowed to go pick fruit on a farm somewhere and extend our visa another 12 months. Americans can’t renew for a second year. However, if you do find that you really want to maximize your time in Oz, there may be some ways to extend your stay.

Most likely you will have to leave the country at least for a short amount of time (a good excuse for a New Zealand or Fiji vacation, or to head home and see some family!). But you may be able to apply for another kind of visa, such as a student visa to study or a work (Skilled Migrant) visa if you have certain skills. Or if you just want to do a bit more traveling around the country, you may be able to leave and come back on a visitor visa. Your best bet is to contact the immigration department directly and ask them what your options are.

Of course, there is the elusive sponsorship that you could aim for. Most companies won’t even go near the idea of sponsorship as it’s seen as a huge pain, but if you’re really something special at what you do, or you’re willing to do any kind of job just to stay in Oz, then you might be able to work something out. There are some backpacker-focused companies that do promise the chance of sponsorship if you stay loyal to the company. One that comes to mind is 2evolve, an organization based in Sydney that does face-to-face and telefundraising.

Finally, if you’ve met the love of your life during your time in Australia, you could also try applying for a partner visa. Brooke at Brookevstheworld did this, and from her chronicles it seemed to be a long and slightly frustrating process. But if you’re looking to make a long-term to commitment to Oz (and, of course, that special Australian), this might be your best bet.

2015 Update: Please note, my experience was in 2010-11, so things have likely changed. Thanks to one commenter, Holly, for providing an update of her experience working in Australia in 2013. I encourage you to scroll through the comments to find updated experiences and answers to your potential questions.

Are you in Oz or newly returned from your work & holiday experience? Please share your experience in the comments, and I will work on an up-to-date Work & Holiday Australia FAQ post.

Hi there, I was trying to find a way to extend my American’s Work and Holiday visa in Australia and came across your blog. The link you have for stretching it to 16-19 months doesn’t work but I thought I’d check to see what kind of information you have. Thanks for the help! 🙂

Kayla, thanks for letting me know! I will try to find an equivalent page. Probably the easiest way to extend your stay in Australia (for Americans) is to get sponsored by an employer. (Some backpacker-geared jobs, like call centers, will do this if you let them know it’s what you want.) If that’s not an option, you may be able to extend your actual Work & Holiday visa (though I think this is highly unlikely) or apply for another visa (such as to study). If you have certain skills and/or work in a certain job or industry, you might be able to apply for a straight up working visa. Check out this page: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/

Check if your visa was granted with a “No Further Stay” note. If it wasn’t (or even if it was), I would recommend getting in touch with Australian immigration to find out what your options are. You may be able to apply for another visa, but you might have to do it from outside Australia. Of course, if you just want to see more of Australia and not work, you can leave the country and then re-enter on a tourist visa.

Finally, if you want to stay because of a certain someone, there is a partner visa. It’s a long road and can get complicated, but if this is something your considering I would recommend getting in touch with Brooke at brookevstheworld.com as I know she has done this. Even if you aren’t looking to do the partner visa, she might be a good source because I believe she started on a Work & Holiday and extended her stay on a working visa or something else.

I will do a little research and see if I can dig anything else up. Until then, good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions and let me know if you find out anything else helpful that I should include in the post 🙂

Hey about extending your visa 16-19 months
The link is unusable is there any chance u can send me as much information about this as possible the jargon on the website is really annoying to decypher and i need some help for a friend

Hey James. I am sorry about the broken link. I am still trying to find another good site with the equivalent info to link to. Are you an American? If so, I’m going to pretty much repeat for you what I told Kayla above.

The easiest way to extend your stay in Australia is to get sponsored by an employer. (Some backpacker-geared jobs, like call centers, will do this if you let them know it’s what you want. If you want some names, let me know.)

If that’s not an option, you may be able to extend your actual Work & Holiday visa (though I think this is highly unlikely) or apply for another visa (such as to study). Or, if you have certain skills and/or work in a certain job or industry, you might be able to apply for a straight up working visa.

You may be able to apply for another visa, but you most likely will have to do it from outside Australia. (I am not sure if you would have to return all the way to the States or if you could just hop over to NZ or something for a bit.)

Of course, if you just want to see more of Australia and not work, you can leave the country and then re-enter on a tourist visa.

Finally, if you want to stay because of a certain someone, there is a partner visa. It’s a long road and can get complicated, but if this is something your considering I would recommend getting in touch with Brooke at http://www.brookevstheworld.com as I know she has done this. Even if you aren’t looking to do the partner visa, she might be a good source because I believe she started on a Work & Holiday and extended her stay on a working visa or something else.

I will continue to try to do some extra research and see if I can find more info. If there are some other details to your particular circumstances, please let me know.

Until then, good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions. Let me know how things work out, it would be good to include the info for other people like yourself 🙂

Hello, I just stumbled across your site, and I have a question. I’m an American looking at doing a WHV, but I’ve read that living in the cities is prohibitively expensive. However, I’ve heard that you can make some serious money working in the outback like $15,000 on a 6 month contract. Im just wondering if I should focus my trip on backpacking up the east coast finding short jobs along the way, or trying to get a more-or-less “real” job?

Australia is expensive, but the wages are set to match the costs. Even short-term, minimum wage jobs will pay at least $15/hour. It’s really up to you and what you want to get out of your time there.

If you want to get “real” professional experience and/or live in a city and really get immersed in the culture and living there, then go for it. It is doable. You can get a shared room in most cities for a relatively decent price. Getting a “real” job might take more time though, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience in the field you’re looking in.

However, if the objective of your time in Oz is more focused on the holiday part and seeing the country, then it is plausible to backpack up the coast and do short jobs such as fruit picking/farm work, hospitality work, street marketing, etc. There are backpacker-targeted jobs like this, and sometimes you can even stay in the same company and travel on their dime to different cities to do marketing. Look on Gumtree for some opportunities.

I don’t know about $15,000 for six months, but it sounds possible. Some labor jobs out in rural areas might pay quite well. (Cost of living can be high though too since everything has to be brought it.)

Do you need proof of an outgoing ticket? I hope to stay the year and don’t want to buy the ticket until it gets closer to time to leave but i also dont want stress at the airport. I came to OZ on a tourist visa once and they just asked questions and didnt require any proof of anything. was wondering if 462 entry was any different.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t ask to see any ongoing ticket. Especially if you show that you have enough funds to pay for a ticket home, it shouldn’t be a problem. (And it’s highly unlikely they would ask.)

Looking back at the immigration site, it says this: “You should also have a return or onward ticket or the funds for a fare to depart Australia.”

While again, I think it is highly unlikely they will ask to see a ticket or proof of funds, I can’t guarantee it. But you already need proof of funds anyway (though again, they never asked to see it), and that should be sufficient. (Technically, you just need enough to get out of the country — and a flight to NZ or Fiji isn’t so expensive! ;))

I will say this, you might want to check that it isn’t actually cheaper to buy a round-trip ticket than one-way ticket anyways. There are actually a lot of cases where this is true. Then it’s worthwhile, even if you don’t use the trip back. You can even mess around with dates to find the cheapest return dates and then save a ton by just paying a fee to change the date later, rather than paying for a whole other one-way ticket. This way, you’re saving money AND you don’t have to sweat anything at the airport.

Just a thought. Let me know how it goes, and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! Enjoy your time in Oz!

Hi Rachel
Thanks for sharing—this is so helpful !
Hoping you can help me answer a question about health insurance. Do you need to be covered in order to be approved for the 462 visa? Scared if I answer no, they’ll deny me it. Did you get coverage here, there or not at all?
Thanks 🙂

I kept my health insurance from the United States when I was in Australia, as there were a number of places I could use it while I was there. I don’t recall anyone ever asking to see proof of insurance, and I am not sure what the rules are in that case.

If you are planning to go anywhere remote (i.e. the Outback) or do anything “adventurous” (hiking, scuba diving, or adventure activities), it might be worth looking into travel health insurance (like World Nomads), at least for part of the time.

I wish I could be of more help. But I will say that while I never had a problem having only my insurance from back home, I never did use it at all. You might also want to look into if there is any kind of mutual agreement between the U.S. and Australia as far as healthcare goes. Australia has these kinds of agreements with a lot of countries (where you can go to the doctor in Oz very inexpensively), and perhaps since our recent healthcare reform there has been a change on this front.

Hi there, I know this is a couple years late.. lol but my boyfriend is having a bit of the same issue, he is from the US and he has health insurance there but we are curious as to whether he puts yes or no on his application to get approved for the visa. Did you ever figure this out??? What did you end up doing – thanks!

I am an American on WHV and I am currently working. I am just a bit confuse about working only 6 months. Is it that I can’t work more than 6 months or I can’t work more than 6 months with one employer?? I am confused cause some one told me today that you can only work 6 month & can’t work anymore…… Can somebody please help me! Thanks!

You can work every day you are there if you want, but you cannot work more than 6 months at one employer.

You can work 12 months – 6 at one employer and 6 months at another. You could work three different jobs for four months, 12 different jobs for one month – anything you want for the year you are there, so long as you do not exceed the six-month limit at one employer.

(In my case, I worked 6 months at one employer, traveled for a few months, then worked 3 months with a second employer.)

Hi Rachael, I’ve come across your blog, and I’ve also worked in Australia on the same visa, but now i’m back in America. Wasn’t sure if you knew anything about this, but I’m trying to figure out how to file my tax return back in the States. – Or do we have to? Any help you have would be GREATLY appreciated! 🙂

I had a friend who went to Australia on a work and holiday visa a few years back and she said she was able to frontload everything for easy processing, but things have possibly changed since she went on her trip.

I just filled out my application online and I didn’t see a place to include scans of any of the required documents. My question is: At what point in the application process do they request all of the documentation (ie. passport scans, diplomas, bank statements…etc)? Do they request it in a seperate email?

I remember there being an option to upload documents with my application, but I believe it wasn’t actually working. In the end, I didn’t upload any documents and I still got my visa approved. You may find that you don’t need to provide anything scanned unless they specifically ask you for it. If you’re still worried, your best bet is going to be to contact someone on their end (and cross your fingers they get back to you!)

Thank you for taking the time to help those out that are wanting to get a visa. It’s so helpful to hear someone’s point of view that has been through it.

Question- I have dual citizenship with both the USA and Germany.
Although I have never lived in Germany and the US is my permanent residence, would it be a good idea to maybe apply with my German passport or should I play it safe and use my US? I know I can stay longer with my German passport!

I was granted my working holiday visa (subclass 462) and now I am just worried about this “sufficient funds” nonsense. I will have the money shortly but was wondering…if I plan to enter Australia in early June, how far in advance should I print or obtain a copy of my bank statement so when I enter and they ask to see my proof they accept it? I just don’t want to get over there and be denied entry because my bank statement was too far back in time. I hope this question makes sense!

Thank you for the advice!!, I’m an American Citizen from Puerto Rico, and I went to Australia in April this year, I loved it so much that I got my work & holiday visa, and hopefully will get to australia in June and look for jobs. I’ve Seen a lot of jobs but is better, like you say, to apply when arrive. Hope everything goes great! Thanks for the tips!

I’m currently in OZ on a WHV and tell you the truth, I don’t want to go back to the states. I’m making $1000 a week from working as a Youth Worker. You can make a shit load of money if you’re ready to work. Check out Youth work on Seek.com and see if it interest you. Basically Youth Work is working with kids from abuse and neglect backgrounds in residential homes. You will need to have previous experience in the industry so my advice to anyone interested is to begin volunteering as a Youth Worker in America for at least six months prior to you arrival. The downside to it is that Aussie kids are spoil and can be extremely disrespectful as compare to America kids (at least from my experience). But once you’ve got a tick skin and can put up with being call a “slut” or a “poofter”, then you’d find youth work much rewarding.

Could you provide me with a way to contact you directly? I’m attaching my email to this comment. I am moving to Australia in about 4 weeks and currently do this exact work in America. I have a Master’s degree and would very much like to continue this work in Oz.

Hi Holly, I saw in one of your comments that you found a sponsor in youth work. I have worked in a similar line of work as an assistant psychologist and residential care officer in Australia for the Department of Child Protection. It would be great to get some information regarding youth work and sponsorship options in Aus. I have attached my email, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shane.

Getting the right amount of exercise is helpful and can be done with something as simple
as taking a walk. As you probably know, giving birth
is a very traumatic experience for your body.
The above is simple action that anyone can do to prevent back pain and maintain a healthy back.

Ok this was one of the most helpful blogs I read before coming to OZ so I would like to contribute some answers I found hard to come by. Oh if you have plenty of funds then disregard.

When you apply for the visa they ask if you have insurance. I was not checked and have yet to hear about anyone getting checked. However better safe then sorry. I regretted not having insurance for the first time while going down the Tully river in grade four rapids. Not a good time to be worried about that. Just say you have it when applying and get some cheap travels insurance if you cant afford anything better. If you get seriously hurt without insurance they may kick you out of the country and send you home (Hawaii) and hit you with a fine and a three year restriction. It also makes it harder to get a visa in another country. If your seriously broke laser jet something that looks official, I brought my insurance cards from my job that were no longer valid so if the asked I had something but they were never checked so ill never know.

The proof of the $5K. Well get your friends or family to lend you the money and then transfer it back once you get through immigration. Oh the immigration officer didn’t even look at me (Whew). But again better safe then sorry. Credit Cards also count for proof of funds.

Australia is expensive!!! Learn to eat like a local quickly! Don’t eat out and drink lots of water. Sydney has Paddys Market, in OZ Bi Lo and Coles grocery stores are cheep also a lot of groceries will put stuff on discount after 8pm, crazy clarks and discount chemists are good for hygiene and other odds and ends. Cotton On and Jay Jay are good for cheap cloths but they are not durable. Bring your electronics! Have cloths that can take a beating and be worn more than a hundred times (because they will be). A good backpack (camel back), and sneakers would be a good idea. Although it depends on where you are. In the gold coast whitsundays etc you generally don’t wear more than flip flops (thongs) and your swim gear. Oh Enjoy some Goon. I cant drink it its gross and should be outlawed but its part of the OZ experience.

Jobs Jobs Jobs. They are very easy to get but you have to be patient and open minded. Food and Beverage jobs are easy to find, anything in hospitality, tourism, marketing, sales and farming. As American forgive me but F*^# farming its not worth it for us because we can not get a second year visa.

I have had several jobs since coming here and have been very lucky. Average pay is 17/hr. Some helpful sites are seek.com, indeed.com and gumtree.com.au. If you plan on working in the city good luck not really my thing.

I spent most of my time so far living in the Whitsundays and Queensland. Remote work (food and beverage, store clerk, stewarding, housekeeping etc) means on an island or in the outback. They pay more and you have nothing to spend it on because there are no stores, restaurants and generally only one pub. I saved 7k in three months. Another helpful hit is something called “work for accommodation” its classified as a volunteer position. Your ability to find them will depend on the city.town/hostel/area etc. If you start having serious money issues just walk around the hostels and ask if they have any work for accommodation available. You work generally two -three hours a day about 10-15 hours a week (again depends on the hostel). In exchange they give you accommodation. Some hostels will even include a meal. Talk to everybody about it you will be very surprised what you learn. Not something we generally do at home but print off a bunch of Resumes and walk around handing them out for bar work, housekeeping, kitchen hand etc. Ummm for those of you that lack integrity don’t worry about experience. Because of the lack of a tipping culture (my opinion) or something similar the standards of customer service are ….odd…working at a five star resort back home I could never do I’m too outspoken and not charismatic at all. In OZ its like working at McDonalds. They order you bring them there food and that’s it. So don’t be worried about fluffing the ol resume with some experience. But research it and network so you can answer questions and have an idea of what is expected.

There are also opportunities to have a great time for free or for pay. Working on a cattle station for food accommodation and horseback riding, four wheeling and other out back activities. Working on the boats in Airlie Beach. go around to the Abel Point Marina and tourist shops on the Escapade and ask about Volunteer sailing trips. In exchange for a couple hours of work a day (generally some kind of cleaning) you can sail, snorkel, bush walk, etc etc. Trips that generally cost hundreds to thousands become free. I spent a month sailing/camping the Whitsundays area on several different boats and paid nothing. A week sailing will cost 1K.

Jobs are easier to get once you are here. But follow the advice above and sort out banking, tax stuff etc before coming. Oh and some American banks have deals with OZ banks so talk to your bank. (eg Bank of America and West pac). Select your hostel in OZ and start using its address as your OZ address and get your TFN (Tax File Number) if you cant get it in the mail when it comes don’t worry there is a number you can call and you can also check online. Its really just important to know it. Get OZ bank account ASAP! I bank with ANZ and there ok.

Cell Phones and Communication. Welcome to the dark ages. The best international call plan I have found is Vodo phone which is 14 cents a min to the US but it tops out at $1 so you can talk for hours for a dollar. Optus for within OZ $2 a day plan is unlimited everything. Telstra is the Verizon wireless of OZ they were once owned by the government and had a monopoly. They have the best coverage but it will cost you. In the cities you will be fine with an carrier once you leave the major hubs you will lose reception very quickly. You can get unlimited voice to USA for $9 a month with Skype. But internet can be very tricky to find and it generally sucks. You can put apps on your cell that will help Skype, Facebook messenger, Gmail hangouts, twitter etc. My advice find a really nice UNLOCKED smart phone. All phones use sim cards so you can just swap out the cards. I have cards for Telstra, Optus and Vodo. Telstra for island and off shore use, Vodo for international and Optus is my main line. Sim cards cost $2.

Thank you Holly! This was super helpful! I am heading off to Oz in October and have everything sorted except for health insurance. I plan to get travel insurance for the first few weeks I’m there, but what did you do about health/travel insurance for the long-term??

I took the risk of not having any. I was eventually sponsored and became a permanent resident and now have insurance. For the first 18mths I wasn’t covered. Sorry but it is a risk, if I had the funds at the time I would have purchased travelers insurance.

So when you filled out your application did you say you had insurance or not?? My boyfriend is having a hard time deciding whether to click the yes or no box…. If you said yes I’m assuming they didn’t ask for proof? Do you think it would be possible to say yes, without having it, and then get the insurance if it is requested for documentation?
Thanks

I just thought I would let people know that you CAN extend your Work & Holiday VISA in Australia if you are an American. Your passport however can NOT be marked ‘No Further Stay’. If your VISA letter is marked with this, then you can NOT extend for a Second 462 VISA.

Can you please provide us with more info? I have tried everything. Made appointments with many Migration Agents and even called the Immigration office here in Australia and they all tell me it’s not possible. Thanks.

Insurance is like anything else go with a name brand research the reviews. I don’t know a lot about it. But most of what I read has you flying home if anything serious happens. The only thing I needed since iv been here was birth control. Call the sexual health office in any major city they are like planned parenthood just cheaper. Wish I knew more. Good Luck!

I really love your website.. Great colors & theme.
Did you build this website yourself? Please reply back
as I’m attempting to create my own blog and would like to learn where you got this from or just what the theme is named.
Kudos!

But I have to counter a lot of what’s been said here – I’ve been traveling around the centre and east coast of Oz for 2 months and lived and worked in Sydney for 8 months. Getting work is NOT easy in cities, period. The majority of whv people I’ve come across trying to get work in the office, restaurant, bar, hotel, etc, are having a very hard time. The economy is getting a bit harder here, trust me. If you want a better chance at work in a city or major area, you HAVE to get there just BEFORE the start of either summer or winter. I saw a good amount of hiring in Sydney and Darwin mid-end September and early October. Nov – March seems to be a harder time to find work. I asked the convention center in SYD when I arrived about hiring- evidently they hire in Nov-Dec but don’t actually have work for anyone until the end of January.

Finding. Work. Is. Harder. Than. Advertised.

Best jobs to find work in on WHV – construction, evidently youth workers (if you have prior experience), and whatever you have a little previous experience in in the restaurant cateogry. Even retail can be a tough gig to land.

Hey, i was just wondering if husband n me find work online, n we dont have visa, can we get visa cuz we online found job in Australia ?
Or we have to apply for visa then if we granted find job n rest there ?
Thx 😉

It depends what visa you want. If you find an employer willing to sponsor you it shouldn’t be a problem. A sponsor is very hard to get and it depends on your work experience/education. You can also look at the points test to see if you can get a skilled migrant visa.

Hi there! I came upon this post and it has been very helpful. I plan on moving to Australia with a de facto partner visa but starting with a work and holiday visa. I was just wondering if you can give me a couple more details on the process of getting the visa and if you have any advice. I’m just wondering about the whole what you need to prove or attach to my application and what your personal exp

I’s so glad I found your blog! I have been working on applying for this visa and have some questions hopefully you can answer (and have not already answered). How did you certify your documents? I just got everything notarized at the bank, is that enough? Do you just attach pdfs of each of the documents after you pay/submit the application online?

I dont see my post that I made a few days ago on here so im not sure if it ever went through. Love your blog! My question is for the working holiday visa do you have to pay the $420 regardless of if you get accepted or only after you get accepted? And are the funds (5000 ish) needed when you apply (do they check then) or only once you are ready to head over there? Thanks!

Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed!
Very useful info specially the final part 🙂 I
take care of such info much. I used to be looking for this particular info
for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.

Apologies if someone already asked this but do you pay the application fee up front when you submit your contract? Also, if for some reason they reject your application do they give you your application fee back or are you out $420 (USD) no matter what? Thanks!

My question is when are all these documents requested. The online application site doesn’t stipulate anywhere where to upload such documents or when or where they will be requested. Where did they request yours If I may ask, because this has been a big issue for me.

Hi! Thank you for all your info.
i have the same question as Paul. Im at the payment portion of the online application and i do not see an area to submit my documents. Would really appreciate a reply!!

If your american and don’t have any red flags you should be fine. They just want to make sure your coming for legal reasons and will leave once your visa expires. Mine was approved the day I filed. Good luck

Hi! My question is regarding the visa and when you submit it. I want to know how do you submit the required documents? (bank statements, passport photocopy, birth certificate etc…) Is it at the same time you submit the visa application or are those documents only needed when flying in at the customs? I will be submitting my visa application online and I don’t know where to send the other documents.

And I read you had almost none of the required documents.. And your visa was still granted?

I’m so glad to hear you found this helpful! Were you approved? Are you in Australia right now?

I have been receiving so many questions lately and would love to be able to connect people with someone who has recently gone through the process of applying and perhaps is even already in Oz going through the experience of finding housing, a job, etc. Let me know if you’d be interested in sharing your experience OR being connected directly with a person or two that has questions 🙂

I would like to warn you all of the scam that is qualifyme.edu.au. They short offer courses in hospitality and also have e-learning. The recruitment team never tell of all the hidden charges and are quite expensive. Whatever job you have right now, do good and be promoted so you do not get to work with qualifyme.edu.au.

Hi a friend of mine is looking to return to Australia from Ireland she arrived home in 2014 having done 1 year on a working holiday visa, she didn’t do the 3 month farm work! What can she do to return now? Or will she have to wait a certain period of time before she can apply for another visa thanks 🙂

I do not think she can do this if she didn’t do the three months of farm work, but her best bet is to contact immigration and ask. I’m afraid I have no first hand experience with this, and I don’t know of anyone who has been in that situation. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help! (Of course she can always enter Oz on a tourist visa!)

Hey, this has been a great introduction to answer some of the questions I had whilst considering a jump over to Aus. I haven’t used my working holiday Visa yet and looking to activate it in the hope of possibly acquiring sponsorship whilst out there as my line of work is on the skilled migrant list. My partner on the other hand has already used her one year working holiday Visa, how long would they be allowed access back into the country for before they have to leave again?

I don’t know what the nationality of your partner is, but assuming she is American (and I believe this holds true for most nationalities), she would be allowed in for three months at a time. (She could, for example, come in on a tourist visa for three months, hop over to New Zealand for a few days, then come back in for another three months.)

Great info! I spent two years on a working holiday in Australia. . best thing I ever did. Never knew it would be a gateway to travelling. I think that’s because I wasn’t aware of the backpacking culture.

This is called ocular hypertension, which is an eye condition caused by high intraocular pressure. If you put a plug in the hose, water pressure builds and eventually damages the hose. For example, imagine your eyes as a garden hose with water flowing in it. Glaucoma typically occurs when large amounts of fluids build up in the eye, giving it a higher pressure than it can normally withstand. However, there are instances when people who have high pressure in their eyes won’t have glaucoma.

Even if your child has perfect 20/20 vision, it’s still important to take them to the eye doctor every year for an exam. Otherwise, your child may experience changes in his or her vision without your knowledge.

Those who have nearsightedness experience the opposite; the closer the objects are, the clearer they come into focus as relatively distant objects get blurred. The aforementioned disorders cause the light rays entering the eye not to focus properly on the retina, resulting in poorly sent electrical impulses from the retina to the brain, eventually resulting in vision impairment. Farsightedness is an eye condition where mostly distant objects are viewed fully, but not nearer objects. Nearsighted individuals have elongated eyeballs or overly curved corneas. This disorder occurs as a result of having eyeballs which are very short or corneas which aren’t curved enough. Astigmatism is experienced by to people who have blurred eyesight caused by irregularly shaped corneas or irregularly curved lens.

The American Optometric Association in fact recommends that an adult should visit an established optometrist Burnbaby is known for every two years for regular eye exams. Eye exams are crucial to detect possible eye problems before they cause major damage. Therefore, the importance of taking routine eye exams should not be taken lightly.%

Hello!!! I really appreciate this blog post! I am an American myself and have been granted the Work Holiday Visa subclass 462. The ONLY document I had to submit was a health exam because I said I wanted to work with kids on my application and the next day, it was granted. I have read all over the site that list of documents you have posted including certified copies of this and that and bank statements. Is it correct that I just need to bring those documents with me and they may ask for them when I arrive? or Im a bit confused as to who I give those documents to. And lastly, how do you get a certified copy of your passport?? I am a US citizen but have lived in Spain for the past two years and I am having such a hard time trying to find out how to get one!! Thank you so much!!!

Hi Brandi. I am an American in OZ. You just need to have those documents with you when you enter the country. Not sure the Spanish equivalent of a notary is but that would be who could certify a copy of your passport. Generally you can find one at a court house but they are called different things in different countries. Good Luck!

My daughter has been in Gold Coast for 3 months and she cant find work .Unfortunately may have to return home.She is Canadian ,is the job market really tight this year or she looking in all the wrong places.

Hi Penny, I agree with Nomad. Tell her to head north there are heaps of backpackers she can get a lift with. Facebook is a growing resource for finding work. Major cities are tough but it is tourist season in Queensland as everyone heads this way for the winter. The snow fields in Victoria are big this time of year as well. Gold Coast is more of a summer town. Airlie Beach, Whitsundays, Magnetic Island, Cairns, Alice Springs, Darwin and a bunch of tiny towns in between. Working for accommodation at backpackers and getting lifts will get her their if she is out of money. Good Luck!

Hi Holly, thanks for all the information you have put out there. I am in the process of applying for a visa for Australia. I cannot seem to find very much information about having to have a physical? Did you have to have a medical physical/proof of it and did you click that you had a physical for Australia if you didn’t? Also, if you did was it just from any place that does physicals or did it have to be a specific doctor? Thanks in advance!

Hi There, it depends on the visa. If your going for 462 you only need one if they request it. I haven’t heard of that happening. But if your trying for something long term then it’s intense. You have to go through there website for approved doctors. Hope that helps cheers

Hey Rachael, I hope Australia is treating you well. Came across your blog as my boyfriend is moving from USA to Australia (I have been here on a five year visa), and was hoping he could come over on a 1 year working/holiday visa. He just applied and was rejected even though all the answers were sound, and then as soon as he clicked a visa “help”, he was approved if he wanted to pay $600. What the??? I cant find anything in general about this. Can you shed some light?

Wow!! My husband and I are escaping the (ridiculous) British immigration laws and trying a new adventure in Australia. Your blog has given us hope… I don’t think you understand how nice it is to have someone give such in-depth information about the process & ease of moving to another country. Our relationship has been seriously strained and we’ve been apart for 6 months now. Now, Australia seems like our little haven. Thank you thank you thank you ❤

Blissful day to you all. My name is Chantel from South Africa. I’m cordially here to make a preference about the first (ever) loan I got online after so many years of searching but now I’ve finally gotten a secured, trusted, legitimate and a long termed loan of R120,000 from a man called Mr Desmond Antonio. I don’t think most people here have heard of that name before, but without withstanding, the name was given to me by a businessman from Ghana residing here in Cape town (South Africa) and he told little about this man and the number of time he had gotten loans from him, so i didn’t hesitated in contacting him regarding the loan that I was needing, and now see the outcome about this man and the loan he gives although being proven real by me but he’s a nice and a caring man to meet. However, it was nice to receive a loan from him and I do think you all can also be beneficiary of his loan and that’s the main reason why I’m posting this comment about the loan and of course Mr Desmond. Therefore, contacting this man and his team is the best option to choose when looking for a real and a legitimate lenders to choose. Desmondantonioconsolidated@outlook.com Contact them any day and do not hesitates to tell your love ones about him. Thanks and have a nice day ahead

hi
I’m an american who applied for the holiday working visa for the first time from november 15 . Until now I had no response from them and on my immi account is hasen’t been updated since the day i applied for it which i think they haven’t seen it yet. Do you think i should call them or wait a little more.

Hi again
Hopefully this is my last question. I’ve been granted my working and holiday visa, after words I’ve done my bio-metrical information which means they’ve taken my photo of me and my finger prints. Once i did it 3 people told me 3 different versions. the first one said that you might need to come back to print your visa. The other one said that no need to come back, and it will take three working days to be notified and finally the last one said no need to receive an email that you got it because you were notified the first time. please tell me which version is right or at least what happened with you and thanks in advance.

Awesome, detailed post! Making me consider applying before I turn 31 next year. I’m hoping someone on here can answer a question about the WHV – do you have 3 months or one year from the time you’re granted the visa to enter Oz? I’ve read both multiple times from different sources, so I’m not sure who is right. Basically, I’m wondering if I apply before my 31st birthday (August 2016), if I need to enter Australia before November or if I’d have a full year to come at any time? The answer will have a big impact on my decision so I have to know which one is right. Thanks all!

My girlfriend and I are planning out the details for our WHV and are expecting to leave the States in early-mid November. From what I gathered that will be the start of the Summer season and it would be best to look for work in the southern half of the continent? We will fly into Sydney most likely and then proceed to backpack South/Southwest ending towards Eyrie Peninsula. Is this something you would recommend?

We also considered starting in Perth and then proceeding South/Southeast before finally going up the East coast before ending in around Darwin. This seemed to make sense logistically to follow the cooler weather and tourist season where work would presumably be.

We are open to casual work and also some more serious work. We both have hospitality experience (she has a degree in it and 3 years experience, I have a business degree and 8 years experience). Wwoof has also intrigued us to learn something new.

Any recommendations or suggestions? Our ultimate goal is to at least retain our savings but ideally build upon it while still seeing most of the country. The two ways I see this as a possibility is by backpacking and working many casual jobs and/or wwoof. Or we choose a place to settle in and get jobs that we can work up to 6 months at and save additional money that we would later spend while taking a month or two off to solely backpack.

Hi i was wondering if you can belp me. I have recently had to return to the uk after being in OZ on a 417 visa. I plan to return soon. Unfortunatly i do not have the rewuired funds. As my boyfriend who i went there with on the visa has it all. And nothing is in my name. To prove its mine too.
I will be staying at his fathers house with him.
What do u think is the likelyhood of me getting stopped at immigration and have my BF pick me up with letters wirh his name and address on it to prove we are staying there.( he will also bring with him letters with my name and that address on it.

Great article! Does anyone know if the same visa would apply if I was working for an American company remotely? I am a web developer, and I am not sure the process if my company has to sponsor me to go over there? Or I would just need a work visa since I believe Australia and the US have a tax treaty? I was told that I am not allowed to work on the tourism visa.

Hi! Me and my partner are going Australia next January and I’m trying to get as much advice as possible! Isit easy finding a out there? We was going to stay in a hotel for a week, then hopefully find an apartment to rent out!

I’m planning on going to Australia the first month of next year (2017). I was wondering when is the best time to get travelers insurance and will not holding insurance while I apply for visa (462) effect my chances of getting my visa? Thanks!

Hello everyone! My name is Yuri and I have recently applied for my work and holiday. I have done the first phase of what was asked of me by my case officer; medical examination.
I am wondering how long it takes for the results of my medical exam to get through to the Aus government and also what they will have me do next if anything at all. It has been two weeks and I have sent two emails with no reply what so ever. The wait has been a bit painful and concerning. Any info or tips I can get on this would be great.
I am in a bit of a difficult position to be applying for this visa as I am a U.S citizen currently undergoing this whole process in my home country (Russia).
This has made getting certain ‘documents’ such as ‘proof of funds’ with approval from a bank manager, birth certificate (which is in Russian), proof of education (diploma or 2 years under grad proof) a bit hard to get and send to Oz with their requirements for authenticity.
How necessary is it to have all these documents on my Immi account or be included in my visa process?
I read above that a passport copy is the only document that is absolutely mandatory in getting the work and holiday visa. How true is this?

ANY help or advice regarding my situation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Cheer!

ok this is a dumb question but..
Do i need a physical copy of the visa..because it says (i think i understood it correctly)..that the visa is electronically attached to my passport…?? am i printing something out..so confused lol

This may be a very silly question … But what actual service do I go through to get the visa. There are so many websites that I can apply for one through, I’m afraid that most of them are spam. What is the legit website to apply at?

Hi there! I have questions about birth control access and coverage for an American on a working holiday in Aus. I’m out of time to get an IUD here in the States, have insurance and am wondering if it will be covered in Australia? Thank you!

Hello there I just applied for a working visa subclass 462 I’m an American and my girlfriend lives in Australia now but I put in my application when asked do I have health insurance or travel insurance for my stay in Australia I put no will this affect getting approved for a visa?

Hi Isaac,
I hope your visa was granted! I am currently having the exact same problem and was wondering whether you have heard back and if you think answering “no” affected your application? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
I read some where (now of course I can’t find it) that once you apply and are approved for your visa (subclass 462) you have 3 months to get to Australia to put it to use. Is this true? Its late September now and I am leaving mid January. Is it too early to apply for Subclass 462?

PLEASE READ!!!!
Hey Guys!!!Am so happy I got mine from Cindy. My blank ATM card can withdraw $6,000 daily. I got it from Her last week and now I have $36,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on .I am really happy i met Cindy because i met two people before her and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Cindy sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from her now she is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card,She is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. im grateful to Cindy because she changed my story all of a sudden . The card works in all countries except Philippines, Mali and Nigeria. Cindy’s email address is cindytedder767@yahoo.com
